After entering the forum account, Chen Ge found that his account name had been upgraded to purple as soon as he logged in. He looked at the backend and realized that the 30-minute video he had posted before had been widely reposted and recommended, and nearly a thousand people had replied to the post so far.
After a quick scan, Chen Ge didn't find anything useful. Most people were just watching to see the novelty.
"Let's give it a try, what if we can hook someone who knows what's going on?" Chen Ge re-edited the post, added some detailed descriptions about the monster in the mirror, and then used the privileges of the purple account to ask for help.
"After I finished playing the game in the video, I found that the monsters in the mirror haunted me! Please tell me how to get rid of these things!"
Not long after the post was published, someone responded.
"Owner, you are still alive?"
"I suggest you throw black dog blood on it, or raise a rooster. When the rooster crows, the world becomes bright and no dirty thing dares to approach the rooster."
"You are too immersed in the drama. I suggest you turn left and go to the neurology department."
"Ghosts are memories that remain in the human world. If you kill ghosts, you will hurt your own virtue. The sea of suffering is endless. It is better for both sides to take a step back."
"Is the person upstairs trying to reason with a ghost?"
"The Maoshan Seven Killings Ghost Exorcist Order, produced by an authentic Heavenly Master! Look at my profile picture on Taobao! If you place an order successfully, you will also receive an additional Five Ghosts Fortune-Bringing Spell!"
"Mix soybeans, white rice and cinnabar together, then soak them in salt water for fifteen minutes. Then, you can turn the beans into soldiers. Let's see."
"I once saw a video about a man who was haunted by a female ghost. He sold a gun to get rid of the ghost. When the female ghost came to harass him again at night, the man shot himself directly, and then he dragged the female ghost into the bedroom..."
"Original Poster, no kidding, I'm going to tell you a really useful method! Find an iron knife, preferably one that has killed people and shed blood. Ghosts are a special kind of magnetic field energy, and such a knife can cut them!"
Chen Ge looked through it for a long time, and only the one about chopping ghosts with an iron knife seemed reliable, the rest were either nonsense or difficult to achieve. He also knew that in folklore, black dog blood and roosters could drive away evil spirits, but where could he get those things in the middle of the night?
After leaving the forum, Chen Ge threw his phone aside and sat in a chair in a daze.
Fighting against unknown monsters is a matter of life and death, and he certainly cannot pin all his hopes on those ambiguous posts.
After walking around, Chen Ge took out the black phone again. He still had to rely on the black phone at critical moments, and only the black phone could be 100% trusted.
However, black mobile phones follow the principle of equal exchange. If you want to get something, you must give something first.
After a few days of experimenting, Chen Ge also figured out some hidden rules in the black phone, such as task rewards.
There are two levels of difficulty for daily tasks, simple and normal. The rewards are usually props to assist in running the haunted house. Only the rewards for nightmare-level tasks will directly affect oneself, granting some special and rare abilities.
If you want to get rid of the things in the mirror, there is no point in completing simple and normal difficulty tasks. Only the rewards from nightmare-level tasks can be effective.
But what made Chen Ge feel conflicted was that nightmare-level missions were already very dangerous. Not only had the monster in the mirror not been eliminated, but new things had also been attracted.
"What should I do? Give it a try, or wait a little longer?" Chen Ge flipped through his black phone. It was past midnight, and all daily tasks were refreshed.
“Easy Difficulty: If you want to provide tourists with a very scary experience, then you must first pay attention to the rhythm of the tour. Actors and mechanisms that appear too early or too late will cause tourists to lose interest, so I suggest you install sound detectors and surveillance in the haunted house to keep track of the progress of tourists’ tours.”
"Normal Difficulty: You have been given a chance to expand the haunted house. Please find a suitable site for expansion as soon as possible! Due to site restrictions, you cannot carry out any trial missions in any scene before the expansion is completed!"
"Nightmare difficulty: There are always strange noises coming from the bathroom late at night. If you want to know the reason, just do as I say."
"Attention! Some missions are extremely dangerous, please choose carefully!"
Chen Ge looked at the three daily tasks. He didn't have the ability to complete the general tasks for the time being, so he simply ignored them. The only options left for him were simple tasks and nightmare tasks.
"If Uncle Xu gives me the money tomorrow morning, I can buy all the surveillance cameras in one day, but I don't think I can finish installing them. The nightmare mission is related to the bathroom, which is a bit weird." Chen Ge was also hesitant. He might not be able to complete the simple mission, and the reward was very poor. The nightmare mission was too dangerous, and he didn't know what he would encounter.
He sat in the tool room, thinking. Before he could make a decision, the cutting sound was heard again in the haunted house, and it was even harsher than before.
Chen Ge looked up at the ceiling. The sound was still coming from the third floor.
"I brought all four puppets out. What else can it cut?" Chen Ge was also a little annoyed by the dirt in the mirror. He stuffed the mended puppet into his pocket and rushed to the third floor with the hammer in hand.
Opening the door to the midnight escape scene, he was shocked by the scene before him.
There were some mirror fragments scattered at the entrance of the scene, and white marks remained on the wooden door.
"This monster is scratching the door! What on earth does it want to do?"
Chen Ge broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't imagine that while he was sleeping, there would be a monster running around with a mirror fragment in his hand. He absolutely would not allow such a dangerous creature to exist in his horror house!
Chen Ge, who usually had a good temper, had a rare cold face. He locked the door of the midnight escape scene, walked into the corridor with a hammer, pushed open the doors one by one, rushed in, and smashed all the mirrors on the third floor to pieces.
The sound of glass breaking continued, and broken lenses were scattered all over the floor. It was not until he reached the end of the corridor on the third floor that Chen Ge calmed down again.
"During the first nightmare mission, this monster was blocked in the mirror by the puppet and could not resist; later when it attacked Heshan, it could only slightly affect the opponent; but after attacking He Feng, this thing was able to walk out of the mirror! It is also growing, and growing very fast!" Chen Ge was unwilling to wait any longer. His haunted house had just started and could not be destroyed by an unknown monster.
After walking out of the midnight escape scene with a hammer in hand and locking the door, Chen Ge, with the determination to burn his boats, opened his black phone and directly accepted the nightmare-level mission: "I hope the reward for this mission will be more powerful."
"Are you sure you want to accept the nightmare difficulty daily mission? Accepting it may lead to unknown situations."
"Sure."
The phone screen flashed, and specific task information appeared.
